    "abstract": "We suggest that tunable orientational nonlinearity of nematic liquid crystals\ncan be employed for all-optical switching in periodic photonic structures with\nliquid-crystal defects. We consider a one-dimensional periodic structure of Si\nlayers with a local defect created by infiltrating a liquid crystal into a\npore, and demonstrate, by solving numerically a system of coupled nonlinear\nequations for the nematic director and the propagating electric field, that the\nlight-induced Freedericksz transition can lead to a sharp switching and diode\noperation in the photonic devices.",
